This antique Malayer rug, woven in Persia circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind runner distinguished by its richly drawn geometric field and crisply articulated border system. The dark brown field is enlivened with repeating tribal motifs in ivory, rust, and muted rose, giving the piece a finely aged palette and the character collectors prize in early 20th-century village weaving. Its elongated format and intricate hand-knotted design make it an ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Faded warm tones of brown, ivory, rust, rose, taupe, and burgundy, with a brown field.
Malayer rugs are woven in and around the town of Malayer in western Iran, within the greater Hamadan district. Comprising over a hundred villages each with its own subtle design traditions, the Malayer region produces hand-knotted rugs on a cotton foundation using the symmetrical Turkish knot — finer and more tightly woven than most Hamadan work.
Malayer designs tend toward the geometric, with herati, mahi (fish), and stylized floral patterns rendered in a traditional palette of deep indigo, madder red, and ivory. Their precise drawing, durable construction, and handsome proportions make antique Malayer rugs a consistently sought-after choice for collectors and decorators alike.
